Connecticut citizens, President Barack Obama is coming to your local town.

But he's not coming to see what he can do for your unemployment rate, or even to get your advice on how to put together and pass a Federal budget. He doesn't do those things, as you may have noticed.

He's coming for your money.

BTW, if you wanted to go to the beach, forget it. He's coming for those too... and while he's got 'em, you can't have them.

And if you wanted to drive anywhere else in the next few days... forget that, too. Or had you forgotten what kind of traffic jams a Presidential motorcade can cause? Well, he'll remind you.

Don't worry, though. President Obama will zip right through them, and never notice they're there.

So you can at least sleep well at night, knowing you haven't disturbed him.

Connecticut beaches closed so Obama can fund-raise with Hollywood mogul

Beachgoers, get lost.

Amid the peak summer season, two of Connecticut’s popular public beaches -- maintained with taxpayer money -- will close Monday to accommodate President Obama’s fundraising excursion that ends with a $35,800-per-plate event at movie mogul Harvey Weinstein’s mansion. And Republicans aren't happy about it.

The 238-acre Sherwood Island State Park will be closed so the president’s helicopter can land and then take off after a day-long trip that begins in Stamford.

The other beach, the roughly two-acre Burying Hill Beach, is adjacent to Weinstein’s mansion and is owned by the town of Westport. Both beaches border the Long Island Sound.

"This is the height of hypocrisy," state House Minority Leader Lawrence F. Cafero Jr. told FoxNews.com.

Cafero, a Norwalk Republican, said he was so shocked to hear the parks would be closed to accommodate Obama's fundraisers that he immediate double-checked his information.

"Purely political," he said. "Can you imagine if George W. Bush in 2004 had requested that our Republican governor shut down the park? It would have made national news. This is wrong in so many ways."
